Not as good as otterbox. If you drop or bang your phone around a fair amount then I would.go with a more rugged case. I dont mind being a little more cognisant with my phone since the battery life is so good

I tried otterbox before, the quality of any otterbox product is higher... I don't complain about this case, but otterbox has better overall quality...

I would say if you are rough on a phone go with the otterbox. I travel a lot an need the extra battery for long trips.

It depends on the amount of protection you want. I first had the commuter and it did its purpose for about 3 months and the plastic shield cracked on the bottom of the case. I liked the sleekness of it and it did not add a whole lot of bulk to my phone. I now have the defender and I honestly feel less worried about damage and the extra bulk is not that big of a deal. I also like the built in screen protector. Once you get used to the extra bulk it is definitely having that peace of mind that your phone is protected.

I think it is just as good as an Otterbox. My sister has an Otterbox and she dropped it numerous times and it hasn't cracked. I have already dropped mine and all it does is bounce off the ground. Since the plastic raises the screen from coming into contact with any surface, it doesn't get scratched. My phone has not cracked and a two year old has thrown it everywhere. I definitely recommend it. Especially for just $7. You cant go wrong!!

I personally think it's better than my commuter otter. It's very sturdy and I've dropped it several times. Hope this helps

Honestly not sure of the differences myself, but I have the Defender series and it has held up well. Even a horse kicking it didn't damage my phone or much of the case

It is very similar to it. Both are tough. This one does have 2 layers. The plastic and rubber layers. Haven't checked otterbox, but this one has a hand wrap on the back which is a nice feature. No water resistance.

I have no complaints. It fits tightly and has take more than a few good falls with no damage to the phone or case. I think the corners of the Trident case seems more padded than the Otter box Commuter series. If I had to do it all over again and money was not a factor I would still choose the Trident case. Money being a factor you still win with the Trident case, since it is about half the price. The only complaint I have with my Trident case is the fact that I bought a black and Grey one and it is hard to see when you lay it down somewhere and you try looking for it. Should of bought one that is more vivid, but that's my fault, not Trident's. 5 star rating from me. Hope this helps. I have no complaints.

I prefer the OtterBox. Much more expensive but it's almost I breakable. It completely encloses the kindle with a unbreakable plastic face. It's waterproof. It's worth the money spent.

You have to ask yourself, "how much protection do I need?", when you compare the two. The Otterbox is going to offer a higher level of water protection, but at a higher retail cost. I had a waterproof, impact absorbing case before this one and I just did need the waterproof feature that much. For the cost the Trident offers a similar level of impact absorption, but lacks the total waterproof featurs of other higher end cases.

Yes, I've switched to an otterbox tho cause the belt clip Holster is more secure and prevents the phone from falling in the first place.

Size and thickness wise, the otter box is thicker and more bulky imho. Protection wise I think they are the same, but ymmv.

It's pretty easy to take off or put on, though the rubber/gel inner-layer may wear out a little fast if you do that too much, though I think you're facing that problem with a lot of cases if you constantly take 'em off and on. I am inclined to think it's better than the Otterbox though--regardless how you use it, since the rubber/gel on this case is more on the inside rather than the outside; Note, unlike the Otterbox, there is not an integrated screen protector.

I can't compare because I don't have the Otterbox Defender. What I can say is that the New Trent is sturdy enough and the ipad fits snuggly in it, and having the back handle helps for carrying around. The stand is integrated, unlike the Otterbox which is a separate case. The stand/cover for the otterbox may help with extra protection for the screen, however, the IPad air screen is not glass so it is not as fragile as prior ones, the risk of a separate cover is the possibility of being left behind.

I am not sure how it compares but I would try the Otterbox over this. If you are just going to have the case on when you are listening to music while you're outside or at the gym its fine. No one could hear me and coversation was impossible with it on. Hard ti get on and off. I only put it on at the gym.

It's similar but if you drop your phone like I do, Otter Box might be the better way to go. This one was for my daugter & she's happy with it :)

I believe the otterbox is more solid a case, especially the glass. But this is smaller and lighter and pretty solid. I would say to go into the store to check both out

I am not very familiar with the otter box case. A friend of mine has one and from what I've seen his case offers more protection especially if the phone is dropped.
